Cassie Losey, HFA's senior manager of state affairs, spent the week in California preparing for the next legislative session, which is set to kick off in December.

She met with our partners at Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck, LLP regarding legislative priorities for 2027 in California, including cold spa legislation and tax incentives for physical and mental health.

She also met with California Chamber of Commerce to discuss potential collaborations on Private Attorneys General Act-related issues and membership opportunities.

And on top of all of that, she fit in a spin class with Alicia Priego and Stephanie Tapia Jiménez from Brownstein! 🚴

Our state advocacy team stays on the heartbeat of policy across all 50 states, and we're ready to hit the ground running next session!

What’s really driving growth in the global fitness industry?

The 2026 HFA Global Report is here to answer that question, bringing together the latest data, trends, and operator insights to help make sense of a rapidly evolving industry.

Surveyed operators reported 10.7% median revenue growth and 6.1% median net membership growth.

But the story goes beyond the numbers.

Fitness is playing an increasingly important role in conversations around prevention, healthy aging, and long-term health, while emerging markets continue to offer significant growth opportunities.

Representing nearly 27,000 fitness facilities worldwide, the report provides a global view of where the industry stands—and where it’s headed next.

Last week, our interim president & CEO Greta Wagner called on fitness leaders during an address at Fitness Brasil Expo 2026 to work together to strengthen the industry’s role in improving global health!

She also emphasized the importance of collaboration across markets, pointing to HFA’s 26-year partnership with Fitness Brasil as an example of how the global industry can build a stronger, more unified voice.

“The greatest product the industry offers is not a treadmill, a membership card or an app,” Wagner said. “It is belonging.”
